FAM. MYCETOPHILID.^:

rather long; the distance of the fork of the media from the R-M crossvein appears to be at least as 
great as the length of this crossvein ; the cubitus forks under or distad of the fork of the media (PI. 4, 
Fig. I). 
No species are named or described by the author. Sciophila aliena, Walker, and compressa. Walker 
may belong here since they seem to lack the subcostal vein. 
10. Genus APOLEPHTHISA, Grzegorzek 
Apolephthisa . Grzegorzek, Berl. Ent. Zeischr. Vol. 29, p. 2o5 (i885). 
Characters. — Head somewhat flattened, and slightly produced in front; eyes oval, widely 
separated; ocelli three in number, arranged in a transverse line on the front; palpi four jointed; antenna 
2+14 jointed, the basal joints rounded, with long sette at the apex, the flagellar joints cylindrical, ses- 
sile, as high as long, the apical joint conical, longer. Both meso- and metanotum highly arched, the 
scutellum small. Abdomen seven segmented, compressed, the terminal segment longer and broader 
than the one preceding. Legs moderately long, the tibiae with the usual spurs. Wing oval, the base 
obtuse; the costa produced beyond the tip of but not reaching the tip of the wing; the subcosta 
ending in the costa before the middle of the small cell Rj which is twice as long as wide; Sca want- 
ing; the cubitus forks far proximad of the fork of the media; the anal veins do not reach tlie wing 
margin (PI. 4, Fig. 2).

II. Genus PARATINIA, Mik 
Paratinia. Mik, Verh. Zool-bot. Ges. Wien, Vol. 24, p. 333 (1874). 
Characters. — Head placed low upon the thorax; palpi incurved, four jointed, the basal joint 
very short, the third and fourth cylindrical ; eyes oval, somewhat emarginate at the base of the antennae; 
ocelli three in number, arranged in a transverse line on the front, the middle one but little smaller 
than the laterals ; antennae projecting forward, 2+14 jointed, the basal joints very small, cupuliform, 
the flagellar joints cylindrical, sessile, the joints gradually diminishing in length from the base to the 
tip. Thorax ver}' highly arched, metanotum steep, scutellum small and without long setae. Abdomen 
long and slender, seven segmented. Wing broad, with rather long hairs, especially ;ipically, besides 
the usual setulae; costa produced beyond the tip R4+5 ; subcosta ending in the costa proximad of 
the middle of the small cell Rj , this cell much longer than broad; Scg (subcostal crossvein) proximad 
of the small cell Rj ; the petiole of the fork of the media about half as long as the anterior branch ; the 
cubitus forks proximad of the fork of the media; anal vem delicate and incomplete (PI. 4, Fig. 3). 
Legs long; tibial setae very delicate or wanting, the spurs long. 
The members of this genus may be distinguished from Mj'comya by the widel}' separated ocelli
